In the spring of 1939, with the Second World War looming, two determined twenty-four- year-olds, Heather Jenner and Mary Oliver, decided to open a marriage bureau. They found a tiny office on London's Bond Street and set about the delicate business of matchmaking. Drawing on the bureau's extensive archives, Penrose Halson-who many years later found herself the proprietor of the bureau-tells their story, and those of their clients. From shop girls to debutantes; widowers to war veterans, clients came in search of security, social acceptance, or simply love. And thanks to the meticulous organization and astute intuition of the Bureau's matchmakers, most found what they were looking for. Penrose Halson draws from newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements, and interviews with the proprietors themselves to bring the romance and heartbreak of matchmaking during wartime to vivid, often hilarious, life in this unforgettable story of a most unusual business. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Jenner, Heather. 600 10 Oliver, Mary|c(Owner of a marriage bureau) 610 20 Marriage Bureau (London, England)|xHistory. 650 0 Dating services|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Marriage|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 London (England)|xSocial life and customs|y20th century. 700 1 Copland, Jane,|eNarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11870570?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ hpc_9780062674302_180.jpeg
